There’s no getting around it: we are all persuading, and being persuaded, every day of our lives.It’s a subject that has obvious links to countless different fields: from marketing and advertising to business negotiations, sales and even the art of management.

Renowned South African mentalist, Gilan Gork, will reveal the mind games of influence and how to win them in his seminar, based on his book ‘Persuasion Games’. Persuasion Games explores, examines and explains the mind games of influence that are part of everyday life — and how to win them. You will not only learn how to enhance your own powers of influence in an ethical, responsible way, but also how to protect yourself from persuasive exploitation in any form.*Have you ever wondered how some people always manage to win agreement?*Do you know someone who got an unbelievable job, even if they weren't the most talented person? (Maybe you think that about your boss!)*How do some people always manage to negotiate the best deals?

This seminar delves into the psychological forces which create stealthy slip-roads and shortcuts of influence that bypass our logic. Over the years Gilan has progressed from presenting mentalism feats, to helping South Africans achieve goals faster by learning techniques to become more influential.

For two and a half hours, Gilan will illustrate through an interactive session how to understand the mind games of influence – and how to win them. With his knowledge as a professional mentalist, Gilan will reveal how many psychic’s “powers” are simply influence techniques that we can all learn. These techniques include a psychology and communication model which is one of the world’s longest kept secrets. We can all learn to use these techniques ethically to influence and persuade other people, and at the same time protect ourselves from being manipulated by other people and companies.
